NLGN - BREAK ON THROUGH: OVERCOMING BARRIERS TO INTEGRATION
12 May 2014 10:58 AM
Service integration is the most exciting game in town for
local public services, providing a path to improved outcomes for communities
and reductions in the cost of delivery. Government has made it clear that
taking forward integrated working must be done locally; but progress and pace
of change to date has been slow. Councils and their local partners are facing a
series of barriers which are preventing them from acting.
This report focuses on what
local areas can do themselves to transform, and how central government can
support this. What we really need is radical change of relationships at a local
level, and to support areas to catalyse this process of building better
partnerships.
